“And so our goal on health care is, if we can get, instead of health care costs going up 6 percent a year, it’s going up at the level of inflation, maybe just slightly above inflation, we’ve made huge progress. And by the way, that is the single most important thing we could do in terms of reducing our deficit. That’s why we did it.”…Barack Obama

“However … health insurance rates and benefit coverage plan costs have continued to increase. As a result of those increases, county employees have experienced a pay decrease that has grown larger each year.”…Guilford County Interim Manager Sharisse Fuller

“the Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones.”…George Orwell, “1984”

Obama, aka Big Brother, is demanding that all health care increases be reported to him. Apparently too many reports of health care insurance increases are being reported and they must be rectified.

Once again we look to George Orwell for guidance. Refer to “1984” and set your decoder rings accordingly.

“Obama Asks Health Plans to Report Rising Rates”

“The Obama administration says it will require health insurance companies to report all price increases, no matter how small, to the federal government so officials can monitor the impact of the new health care law and insurers’ compliance with it.

Under current rules, the federal government requires insurers to report information on rate increases of 10 percent or more. New rules being issued by the administration will extend this requirement to all rate increases for all health plans sold to individuals, families and small businesses — a total of 60 million people.

Federal health officials said they needed the additional data to monitor trends in premiums as major provisions of the law take effect and more people buy insurance.

“The purpose of this policy is to identify patterns that could indicate market disruption, which could occur given the additional standards that apply” to insurance starting next year, the administration said in a justification of the rules adopted by Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services.

Under the new law, Ms. Sebelius said, she is supposed to “monitor premium increases of health insurance coverage” inside and outside the regulated state-level markets known as insurance exchanges.”

“A fierce debate has erupted over the impact of Mr. Obama’s health care law. Insurers and employers predict that it will drive up premiums, especially for healthy people under the age of 35. The White House disputes that prediction and says that many factors will lead to lower prices.”

“The White House says the fears of “rate shock” are overblown. Consumers can move from expensive health plans to more efficient, lower-cost plans, the administration says. It says critics who focus on premiums do not take account of other provisions of the law that limit how much consumers will spend out of their own pockets for health care.”

“The county has cut costs for the past two years by increasing co-pays,
deductible amounts and out-of-pocket maximums for employees.

“Over the last four years, no merit increases have been awarded to
Guilford County employees,” Fuller said Friday in an email. “However
… health insurance rates and benefit coverage plan costs have
continued to increase. As a result of those increases, county
employees have experienced a pay decrease that has grown larger each
year.””

““It looks to me like Obamacare is causing prices to go up and will
continue to make prices go up,” Henning said. “That’s something we’re
going to have to deal with, like everyone else in this economy.”

“The question is do you raise costs or do you cut services?” Henning
said. “Hopefully, we won’t do either. But health care costs are going
up for everyone. County employees aren’t immune.””

“Health Insurance Costs Skyrocket For College Students Due To ObamaCare”

“Can we stop calling ObamaCare the Affordable Care Act now?

A Young America’s Foundation activist forwarded an email from the Vice President for Finance at his school, Guilford College (Greensboro, NC), informing him that, “For the 2012-13 academic year, the annual cost of the student health insurance is increasing from $668 to $1,179. This insurance premium has been charged to your student account.”

Why the increase? “Our student health insurance policy premium has been substantially increased due to changes required by federal regulations issued on March 16, 2012 under the Affordable Care Act.”

“Guilford joins a long list of colleges raising their premiums. Virtually all current student insurance plans do not meet ObamaCare’s mandates, and Forbes reports colleges have been forced to drop their plans or raise their premiums rates as much as 1,112% (and no, that’s not a typo).”

“Lenoir-Rhyne University (Hickory, NC) raised theirs from $245 to $2,507″

“Health Premiums Up $3,000; Obama Vowed $2,500 Cut”

“During his first run for president, Barack Obama made one very specific promise to voters: He would cut health insurance premiums for families by $2,500, and do so in his first term.

But it turns out that family premiums have increased by more than $3,000 since Obama’s vow, according to the latest annual Kaiser Family Foundation employee health benefits survey.

Premiums for employer-provided family coverage rose $3,065 — 24% — from 2008 to 2012, the Kaiser survey found. Even if you start counting in 2009, premiums have climbed $2,370.

What’s more, premiums climbed faster in Obama’s four years than they did in the previous four under President Bush, the survey data show.

I read that and have reservations how that most likely came about. Sen. Mendez has very high political connections in the Dominican Republic, law makers, lawyers, judges, ect. So here you have this underage prostitute that out of now where, targeted a U.S. Senator for no reason, as just randomly picked this particular Senator out of a list of U.S. Politicians, made up a complete story, only to retract it after being questioned by the Dominican Justice department. I don’t buy it.

“It is well known that Obama supposedly attended Columbia University for his supposed last year of undergraduate studies. However, the name used for the financial aid that he reportedly received has been an unanswered question until now. There can be no denying that Obama used a different name to obtain monies reserved for foreign students to pay for his tuition to Columbia University back in the 80’s when was supposedly an undergraduate student.

In October of 2011 I was conducting one of my daily database searches for any information relating to Obama and his alter identities such as his other last name of Soetoro. I discovered an anomaly using the database information that was pulled when I used the last name of Soetoro in and for the state of New York. The following exhibits are the items that were pulled when the searches were completed.”

Sorry, I try not to post entire articles, but this one seemed important.

Suicide in the age of Obama
Exclusive: Joseph Farah cites reason Americans are increasingly killing themselves

Guns don’t kill people. People kill themselves.

That’s the story from the American Journal of Public Health, which reports that since Barack Obama was sworn in as president in 2009, the leading cause of death in America has been suicide.

During the entire administration of George W. Bush and earlier, motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death by injury.

But that all changed in 2009, with the rate of death by suicide rising by 15 percent over the past 10 years, while death by unintentional motor vehicle crash dropped 25 percent during the same period.

What’s the take-away here?

It would be easy to attribute the rise in suicide to the economy, and I have no doubt it’s a contributing factor. But there’s much more to this story than meets the eye.

Hearings are going on right now in Congress on whether to ban new classifications of firearms to prevent gun violence. But far more people are killing themselves than are killing others with guns.

Shouldn’t the government do something about this raging deadly epidemic?

Well, sad to say, the government has been working on the this problem – literally throwing money at it to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars on suicide-prevention programs while the crisis grows.

It’s like Ronald Reagan said, “Government isn’t the solution. Government is the problem.”

Now I don’t mean to make light of a serious subject like the suicide epidemic literally ravaging our country right now. It’s a very real problem. But to think government has a solution is ludicrous.

So what is the solution? A better question is, “What’s the problem?”

It’s not that Americans don’t have enough toys and gadgets, food and shelter, amusements and diversions. While Americans are indeed hurting economically, I suggest the answer is much deeper than that.

I believe the trend reflects a deep and growing spiritual emptiness in a culture that is more depraved and sinful than at any time in its history.

Too many people just don’t find any meaning in life.

Think about it.

We are told from the youngest age in state-run schools that human beings are merely the result of billions of years of evolution from lower life forms and random mutations. There is no Creator God who loves us and to whom we are accountable. There are no laws higher than those government imposes on us – no sin, no ultimate, objective moral code. In fact, human beings are a blight on the planet. It would be better off without us – or at least with a lot fewer of us polluting the air with carbon dioxide and overheating the Earth.

Do I have that about right?

Furthermore, in those same government schools, prayer and Bible reading are prohibited, but explicit instructions on how to have promiscuous sex without consequences is mandated.

Abortion is subsidized, while adoption is prohibitively expensive – in the unlikely event you can find a child to adopt.

Increasingly, the state is sticking its nose into what we eat, what we say, how we raise our children – even our thoughts.

Government is fine with pornography. But purity and abstinence are discouraged.

In other words, right is wrong, up is down, black is white and left is right.

And we sit here and wonder why people are killing themselves.

Government doesn’t have any answers.

When government replaces God in the lives of people, their lives become empty. They become subjects of the state, rather than citizens endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights – among those being life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The easy way to explain this alarming suicide data would be tough economic times. But when government becomes the ultimate authority in our lives and practices lawlessness, disregarding routinely the Constitution from which it derives its limited authority, I would suggest to you this is a much bigger cause for despair and powerlessness and hopelessness.

There is a solution to this problem. But it’s not a top-down answer. It’s a bottom-up solution.

Americans need to get right with God.

They need to find out what He requires of them – why He created them and how much He loves them. They need to be in genuine repentance for having turned away from Him and whored after other false gods and pursuits.

JERUSALEM — U.S. President Barack Obama has demanded a timetable for an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank.

Israeli sources said Obama, scheduled to arrive in Israel on March 20,
wants a detailed Israeli withdrawal plan from Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu during the president’s visit. The sources said the Israeli plan
would be considered in what could be an imminent U.S. initiative to
establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank in 2014.

“Obama has made it clear to Netanyahu that his visit is not about
photo-ops, but the business of Iran and a Palestinian state,” a source said. “The implication is that if Israel won’t give him something he can work with, then he’ll act on his own.”……………………………….

I read that article and still unclear. I so see where Obama is listed in the State of New York under one of his aliases, but how does that “prove” Obama accepted foreign student aide at the University of Columbia? I don’t see the connection of Proof. Perhaps it’s just me.

Strange how good citizens sit and watch their own demise being put in place all around them…..ammo; tanks; now drones….all purchased and fitted with their own hard earned cash…looks like the perverts in charge are creating a world fit only for perverts:

I can actually think of many areas whereby drones would be cheaper to use in our civilian life than alternatives such as manned airplanes with the sheriff department. Looking for lost civilians, monitoring interstates highways, lost life recovery efforts, searching/following criminal suspects such as bank robbery get-away vehicles, ect. Currently all these take place in manned choppers and airplanes which is expensive on the taxpayers. However, it opens Pandora’s box for the government to misuse the advance technology and that is my personal fear. So I am mixed on this topic

Now that he has secured his second term, President Barack Obama has already secretly pledged to the Palestinians he will press Israel into a new round of so-called land-for-peace negotiations, a top Palestinian Authority negotiator told KleinOnline.

The negotiator said top members of the Obama administration told the Palestinians the U.S. president will renew talks aimed at creating a Palestinian state in the so-called 1967 borders—meaning in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and, notably, eastern Jerusalem.http://www.bibleprophecyblog.com/2013/01/obama-secretly-pledges-to-divide.html#

Not content to divide our own nation……………. Beelzebub “leans forward” to divide Jerusalem itself. Interesting times we live in………..

Obama is rigging a way to kill two birds with one stone. His orders from his backers, the Saudis, are to get rid of the shiites and Israel. So he wants to assist in hobbling Iran (shiite) and assist the rebels in Syria (shiite gov.)….then the sunnis (his own) can get on with getting credit for destroyng Israel….and then, of course, the West….in order to rule the world!! Putin will then of course have to get busy backing others in Middle East other than Iran and Syria.

Surprisingly Israel has been very quiet pertaining to Obama’s 1967 boarder plans. Thanks for the support of me feeling better, but actually somewhat numb right now from the meds. I’m higher than Ben Franklin’s kite during a hurricane and bouncing of the walls without moving. LOL.. 🙂

SueQ (9:03am)
Excellent article about the spiritual condition of our country, and I believe that behind the scenes God is working to turn many hearts to Himself. It is indeed a tragedy when so many resort to suicide.

Obama is on very dangerous ground if he tries to strong-arm Netanyahu re. the division of Jerusalem and/or force Israel back to the 1967 borders.

Awww, William, I am so sorry to hear that you have been so sick! You need to be very careful not to push yourself into a possible relapse. Pneumonia is nothing to fool with. I had it a few years ago ( 🙂 at the age of 14) and was in the hospital for 17 days – temp. continuously at 104 – over 100 shots of penicillin – then had to learn to walk all over again. It took about three months before I could return to school.

Get plenty of rest, walk softy and carry a big stick. Praying for a speedy recovery!!

Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder ….. Missouri Department of Revenue is transmitting conceal carry permit information to Department of Home Land Security.
Must listen and pass video on. He is talking with Dana Lorch

Glenn Beck just announced on his radio program on Fox 92.5 that Senator Ron Paul is going to be making an announcement that will “be the biggest news in the history of America!” This could be Rating pumping. Let’s see.

You remind me so much of my mom. She became severely sick at age 6, and was sent to her grandmothers home in Tenn. to recover. After that, she too had to learn how to walk all over again, and was unable to attend school until she was 8.

My recollection of her was that she was unalterably shaped by that experience, and she was the strongest woman I’ve ever known.

My mother was similar in stature. 4ft 10in, 87 lbs wet, but an attitude and determination of David facing Goliath. A lot of that also came from world life experiences. She was born on the reservation in 1940 and ran away at the age of 8, thus being caught and became a ward of the State; passed on from one household to another until finally running away at 14 and on her own from that point on. She despised her Native American past, and I understand the reasons. She really was “tough as nails”.

I cannot imagine going through something that requires relearning to walk due to a virus; that is a serious setback. There are only 2 other times in my life that that a virus hospitalized me. Once when I was 9 years old and there was an outbreak of Hepatitis in our school which landed me in the hospital for 10 days and unconscious for the first 3 days. The second was with Scarlet fever at the age of 35 which I was in the hospital for 2 days.

Because of the hepatitis, to this day, I don’t hold fevers very well. While most people are ok with 101 or 102 temps, I’m crawling on all fours. My white blood cell counts go through the roof whenever I’m sick, something the doctors have always been concerned with and several times believed I had cancer because of it, but turned out false.

Does anyone know who these Congressional people are that Arizona investigator Mike Zullo is suppose to meet with at CPAC? According to the article at WND, he was “invited” to disclose this information. I have many questions about this topic and path.
